Thanks. Will try to use this method to make payment

From the older models, I've used the normal as well as Plus ones and found the Plus size very comfortable. Then after using the iPhone X all this while, I chose the Max without any hesitation because it has the bigger display and I knew I'd be comfortable with a bigger size too.

I'd suggest you go back and try both sizes again. If you really like a bigger display, see if you'll be able to give yourself a chance to get used to a bigger size in your hands.

It's pretty much an individual's choice.

If u have Plus phones previously, u definitely feel right at home with the Max since it sharing with the same body size as Plus...

Just that u nid to get used of the larger screen form factor...

N also if u r a media junkies, watching U tube often n game more often

I went with the Max coz already tried the X and the Xs is not that big a difference over the X. The larger screen size is a big plus point, and if you’re used to having a 7 Plus, the physical size isn’t that much bigger but it is a tad bit heavier. Of course the Xs is much better for single-handed usage.

that's the US version, this is APAC
https://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/produc...ac-english.html

in there it stated:
Where international service is available, Apple may repair or replace Apple Products and parts with comparable Apple Products and parts that comply with local standards.

so what does this means?
i thought this means it is covered as long as there's apple service centers.
just my intepretation

I Change payment method to - Paypal then success to order

The method I use to see if the phone is too big, is to try and reach the top left of the screen with my thumb (I'm right handed, so do the opposite if you're a left). I notice only the larger iPhones are balanced well enough (for me) to achieve this feat whilst still having a somewhat secure hold on the phone. With the 6S Plus, the phone was a tad slippery so that was a bit risky. Could be mitigated by using a casing or bumper to add some grip to it.

If you were from the 7 Plus, did you have to use the phone with two hands, or could you use it one-handed? If during the time you used your old phone, and you didn't really have a time of "Man, I wished I got the 7 instead", then you should be good with the Max.

The weight as I've quoted below, is really negligible. Physical size is almost exactly, if not exactly the same. Like I said before, I could still use the Max one-handed, albeit a bit harder (especially if driving Don't text and drive folks. Bad bad idea)

Another plus point to the Max, if you're getting black and putting it in casing, people won't notice is the newer phone. Can keep a low profile.

One thing to note if you're used to a bigger phone, using a smaller phone two-handed makes it feel like a toy. A very odd feeling.

the bigger screen of course it's better but also greater risk of slipping out of your hand especially for those with small palm... get what you feel comfortable

Currently using 7plus and need to use both hand since my thumb cannot reach the upper icon or the other side apps icon. And yeah totally agree about the feeling when holding the smaller phone. Feel like playing with a toy and downgrade the phone. Looking at all the feedback, I think it is worth it to buy max.

dear all,

any idea when apple pay can be use in malaysia?

paid so premium but cant use this feature felt like very disappointed.

A few questions for you so you don't get buyer's remorse later:

1) Are you ok with using the phone with two hands?
2) As mentioned by ykgen, have you ever had a time where your old phone almost slipped out of your hand?
3) Reachability is a bit iffy to use on the Max than it is on the 7 Plus. If you'll be relying on it, might have to get used to it.

Biggest thing (for me) is if you don't mind using two hands, then sure, go for the Max.

I was initially dead set on the Xs but my wife convinced me otherwise...on points that doesn't relate to actual usage I believe those things are superficial and aesthetics can be adapted to with time.

Main thing to consider is, can you live with a large phone? If you've done well enough with the 7 Plus, I don't personally see a problem with the Max. Take a stroll down to the store again and play around with the two phones. The hype should have died down slightly for you to have more time checking it out.

Technically, it can be used in Malaysia. Just not with our banks

I think it's more of a BNM issue...since the infrastructure is there, and they allow Samsung Pay. Or on a more optimistic note, it's just a matter of time?

-----------------------

On a side note, I thought I'd have real problems with moving away from Touch ID. I'm quite (happily) surprised that Face ID works just as well, if not better. The only problem is checking for notifications when the phone is on a table whilst working. Can't quickly unlock without having to lift the phone.

For all other usage, I personally find the Face ID to be superior to Touch ID. It could even verify my face that was mounted to the car dock on the centre console. That's almost a 45 degree angle. Must say I'm impressed.

Half the time I don't even realise that it's there coz it unlocks so seamlessly.

God I sound like an iSheep now
